synopsis:More a diagnosis than a piece of music, Babyman the song chronicles one singer’s heartfelt journey from love to rejection, ending in a triumph of scorn and a vision of a future free from lying deadbeat dates. Charming folks who make terrible partners, intelligent people who make terrible choices have long been lyric subjects; this version has its tongue firmly in its cheek and leaves the viewer feeling somehow guilty and wronged all in one. The Motown-inspired tune is easy to learn, and may increase emotional intelligence after viewing.
